What Aspect of Scrapbooking Do You Enjoy the Most?

I enjoy playing around with pretty papers and the embellishments and having the finished product look cute, pretty, or just nice (at least to my eyes). So I guess that would be the design element of it?

I have loved crafting since I was in the 3rd grade, that I can remember. I did not really do much of it for a long while, but the internet certainly changed all that.

Besides enjoying a finished layout I'd say my favorite part is picture and paper placement. Those two things usually happen pretty quickly for me.

I love mixing the pattern papers together. I also like designing the layout, but I get real satisfaction looking through my albums at the layouts and enjoying the happy memories.

Seeing my kids enjoy them. DH even has nice things to say sometimes.

I love using the perfect products to have a page come together quickly.  Nothing makes me happier than finally using something I had purchased for certain photos and I finally sit down and put it all together!

When I was gathering product for my living history project, I had been collecting for it for many years.  Finally seeing myself putting those perfect items on the page with photos makes it awesome for me.

After that, looking at completed pages and albums is very important to me.

Oh my goodness, yes!

I think it's the planning. I am not creative. I have a process. Once I figure out how I'm going to put the page together, I get in a zone.

I would say putting all of these individual things together to create the perfect page that tells the story I wanted to tell. Oh, and shopping for the stuff!

I love organizing my pictures on a page. And of course shopping!

I think this says it best for me. And while I am remembering experiences with the grandkids, I am also anticipating how they will respond to their pages, so even when I am alone in my scraproom, I feel a strong connection with the people I am scrapping about. 

Cant deny the the pull of design, either. Being away from scrapping this weekend, I see design ideas everywhere:  floor tiles, brick walls, billboards, gravel in the parking lot...

For me it is the calm feeling it gives me. If I can even sit in my scrap room and work, uninterrupted for 15-20, it relaxes and recharges me.

This in number one for me, too.

I love playing with all the pretty supplies, preserving memories for my grandchildren, and looking back at how they have grown.

I've always enjoyed crafting. This is my favorite.

I love having a reason to go through my boxes of pictures and reliving the memories. Next is enjoying the design process. Finally, sharing the finished pages with my kids so they can relive their memories I've scrapped for them. (Of course replenishing the stash is mixed up in there too! Love hunting for just the right paper and embellishments and more!)

Using patterned paper and journaling the stories. I get a rush!
